About
Born and based in Naarm, Jacqui has been involved in dance since very early childhood, and sees it as an integral and significant part of their life and identity. At age 3, Jacqui took the common route of learning ballet, and maintained this training all the way up to adulthood, but is now focused predominantly in the realm of contemporary dance.
Recently Jacqui’s practice manifests in a blend of dance education, solo and group improvisations, writing about personal experience with dance, and regularly attending dance and movement presentations across Naarm.
Jacqui is a keen improviser, with a strong fascination in creative thinking, tangible movement tasks and structured improvisation - all trademarks of past works they have made. When teaching, Jacqui looks to ensure safety, validity of choice, lightheartedness, pleasure, identity and joy into these creative spaces, utilising fundamental contemporary dance techniques, phrase work, textural sound, and personal impulse.
